Germany April 3, 1935 n r 1 claim. (ci. 98-2) .ny inventionreliies tol improvements in car ventilators, and\ mor lators of the type may be used in bers which are loosely arranged one beside the tially perpendicularly to the plane of the Window,

to the upper fram/efmember, and a downwardly directed ilange which has hel s proper secured thereto. r Other objects of the improvements will appear from the following description.

For the purpose of explaining the invention same reference characters have been used in all Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing one ofthe louver members of the Ventilating device,

"" Fig. 2 is a. sectional elevation taken on the line louver members each composed of a supporting l any suitable way. In therexa'm'ple Vshown in Figs. l0

that they adapt themselves to any clrved shape of 50 dow of a. motor vehicle. As is shown in the said ligure the louver members are disposed one beside 5 5 the other, .and'they are disconnected from one another. The upwardly directed ilan'ge b of the supporting members a engage in the groove m in which the window pane p is guided, and preferably the said flanges are clamped between one of the side walls of the said groove and the packing strip, a suitable cement being preferably applied to the ilange b for securely holding the same in position. By reason ofv the `thin ange b the width of the groove .m is not'materially reduced, so that the pane'may be completely closed if desired.

In Fig. 6, I have shown a modification which may be used where the window frames Vare straight. As shown in the said gure the upwardly directed anges b of 'the `supporting members are made integral, thesaid supporting members comprising a rying the portions c, c. c, and the said ange is likewise fitted within the groove of the window frame. n

In the constructions shown in the figures the louvers partly overlap one another, the apex of .each triangular portion c3, c4, etc., extending into cut-out portions o of the portions c of the adjacent supporting members. y

The louver members may be disposed on the window frame in continuous arrangement. But by the construction shown in the figures in which adjacent louvers overlap one another draught within the vehicle is prevented.r

' automobile, the outer continuous flange b' `car.-

being inclined toward the front of the automo- -tinihiousj-Pclosel` surface "jfor arrangement along .the .upper'part of the frame of a vwindow and conforming to the curvature of the window lframe, an attaching ange integral with the in.

ner edge of the main portion and adapted to be secured to the window frame in such a manner that the Vmain portion of the bracket extends laterally, from lthe `window and exteriorly of the edge of each main portion bile, a louver member depending from the main portion of each bracket andpositioned adjacent and substantially parallel to each inclined outer edge of the said main:.portion,said louver members being so positioned that lwhen the automobileis in motion va. current of `air passing over the surf aces thereof creates a vacuum at the open outer ends to exhaust used air 'from-the interior of the automobile.
